Here are descriptions of – among many other things – the sense of feeling weepy, nostalgic, anxious, and dreamy. We are all from the same place, and made of the same stuff, but we each see ourselves as individuals. Who Am I? is an introspective exploration of that idea – a dive through the multitudes that comprise every one of us – to ask who we really are, once all of the external stuff is stripped away.
